Had the opportunity to give a workshop on the topic of Intel Edison, Node.js and the Internet of Things at O’Reilly Solid earlier today. Also had a great time attending Sandeep Mistry’s Bluetooth LE + Arduino workshop later in the day.

Thanks so much to Jeremy Foster from Microsoft for spending an hour with Intel to discuss the topic of hardware hackathons. We had a great exchange of ideas about the future of Internet of Things and the importance of DX for hardware and software developers!

This is the fastest way to get Mono onto your Intel Edison. I saw some other solutions that involve compiling Mono yourself which takes hours, do this instead to install an existing precompiled image using opkg.

This is the talk I am planning on presenting this coming Wednesday at Future Insights, Las Vegas. I haven’t decided how much to add or remove from this deck in particular yet as it is the first test run of this thing. The focus is going to be on giving a basic overview of important concepts from the world of microcontrollers that may interest web developers who are interested in using their existing skills to work with hardware (something that is now possible due to intermediate layers such as Intel’s LibMRAA).

More likely than not I will be tweaking this thing constantly over the next week.

This is the extended version of my talk on evangelizing hardware devices at hardware hackathons. My original deck was 38 slides, this one is 109 slides. There is much I am leaving out even at 109 slides.
